<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob Evancho, post: 6567300, member: 84595&quot;]I would tend to agree with &quot;halfcent1793&quot; the coin is at least double struck.&nbsp; Possibly triple struck but that would need in hand examination.&nbsp; There appears to be rotation from strikes and the first strike was flattened by the second strike which is now the strong strike.&nbsp; Is the rotation accurate?&nbsp; Was the coin altered over 200 years ago? I don&#039;t observe shelving similar to machine doubling.&nbsp; There is a little confusion as to why the reverse does not look like rotation and a double strike but the error is possible.&nbsp; Was the double strike caused by a loose die which moved enough to make the double strike?&nbsp; Or the triple strike? It would be interesting to measure the spread and rotation on the strikes to determine what happened. Did something, die or coin,&nbsp; rotate from the center?&nbsp; It&#039;s an interesting coin no matter what the outcome or consensus is.&nbsp; I look forward to experts giving their insight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
